Brighton Bear Weekend have been invited to take over Out in Brighton the weekly roundup of everything lesbian, gay, trans and queer in Brighton and Hove, presented by Kathy Caton on RadioReverb

The show will broadcast live from the Open Market, London Road on Saturday June 10 at 11am and will feature guests from across the annual bear weekend festivities, including the people who run it, performers, people from the venues and from the Rainbow Fund who Brighton Bear Weekend raise money for.

Kathy Caton, said: “I’m absolutely delighted – and slightly nervous! – about being taken over by the Bears. I’m a massive fan of the BBW and all they do, their incredible fundraising and community activities, and being general all round community heroes. I’m delighted that Our In Brighton and RadioReverb 97.2fm can provide the platform for the BBW – and now we’re based down at the Open Market it’s the perfect place to come and see what’s going on and get involved.”

Chair of Brighton Bear Weekend, Graham Munday, added: “We are planning a great show with many guests covering all the different aspects of the weekend from behind the scenes to front of house. Paying respect to the people who make the weekend so special for so many. Being live you can come down and watch us. See the chaos in action. If you can’t make it there then send a message on Twitter”
